Hi folks hope you have been sending in your donation for raffle tickets for this Research Fund. This is a legitimate thing and all the proceeds will be given to the PC's Charitable Foundation who in turn will not just meet but double the funds collected. Linda Butler consulted Evan on how to set up the bank account and I believe Ginnie Altman has also helped Linda with this. DM is a disease that a lot of GSD breeders have encountered and we should all be supporting this research. Linda is to be commended for taking on this resposibility. I happen to know she has a daughter's pending wedding and all that entails to keep her busy; yet she is taking the time to do this. If you have forgotten how much the tickets are and what you can win or need other details contact Linda directly at LinRonsknl@xxxxxxxx To those who have already sent or notified Linda that your check is in the mail I know she is very grateful. This is a big list and the donations should not only reflect the size of the membership but also the love we have for "fur" kids. Evan and Ginnie have I gotten everything right? Marie K.
